With you on that one. Not too mention these sets were built VERY cheaply, ALWAYS a hot chassis, IIRC and not anywhere near worth the money people paid for them -a FAR cry from the days of tube CM sets, both BW and color. RCA , Sylvania, Mag and Zenith were superior to CM sets in the SS days. I recall one early 70's CM combo set--actually branded a "rutherford" that I worked on in 1987---and it had a VERY cheap built NEC tv chassis with an even cheaper lloyds style stereo chassis . I would not have given one DIME for the set--then or now.
